Raw Milk Argument
I’m not really a crunchy mom, but I do try to make things healthier for my child than what I had when I was a kid. Recently, my in-laws have joined a cow share (I’m not sure what the actual name is for it), and have been on a raw milk kick. My baby has recently turned one so he’s now able to drink whole milk. My MIL is almost constantly bringing up the benefits of raw milk, and wants me to give it to my baby. I’ve seen so many reports of kids going into kidney failure because of raw milk consumption, and e-coli outbreaks. So I’ve told her no, but she still brings it up. What would you do? More info: my baby was premature, born at 31 weeks. Spent 34 days in NICU and got really sick a month out of NICU, and spent 38 days in PICU. 3 weeks medical coma. I never want to experience anything like this again, if I can help it.
